are my goals not big enough
I have 3 SFH investment properties. It's almost my 1 year anniversary. I want transition to apartments ASAP.
I was writing my goals down. I caught myself writing, "I want to buy a 30 unit building in 3 years". My thinking was I need 3 years so I can get more experience to do more SFH to build a more reputable track record to raise private money.
Am I thinkIng too small ? is 3 years too slow?

Why do you think you need to buy 30 houses in 3 years to build a reputation? Why not 60?
